Today, I leave at 11:00 to go to the hospital. Surgery at 1:15. Getting panniculectomy AND tummy tuck. Would post before pics, but this page seems to be having issues. Will post before and after, when I can.

Actually tried using my sis' BIG couch cushions as wedges. Slept GREAT!!! Soooooo......I'm sleeping on her couch for a while, LOL!!

Glad your doing well, the TAP is new to me but sounds great. Keep us posed on your progress.

So glad you are doing well! I can't wait to see the pictures!!

pics before TT/panni and 5 days post-op. Will post more as bruising and swelling go down

Great job. You have got to be happy with that result. And it will only get better.

Don't you just love drains?

so far am pretty happy with it, will get better as swelling goes down and it gets flatter. Drains are AWESOME!!! NOT!! Was supposed to get the second and last one out yesterday, but was till draining too much. Fingers crossed for tomorrow! They are not as gross as I expected, though. I pass out easily and was afraid I'd pass out EVERY time I looked at them or emptied them. Didn't even bother me, from day one!! But.....I am sooooo over it and want it O U T!

You could try my method....have your cat bite that bad boy.

Your results are going it look great!!!

Congrats!!!! It is so exciting! I was told that it takes 2 months to see "final" results due to sweling and settling around. I think you will be very pleased.

I notice you had quite a bit of bruising, I don't think I had any - wonder why? Is the panni with TT different then a TT? I had a lower body lift which is basically a TT with a flank and butt lift.

That's why I asked how you got him to do it! LMAO

she said 3-4 months till it will be fully flat and I will lose the extra weight from swelling. She also mentioned that I am extra swollen from bruising, so maybe I am more bruised than some people. Bought a clingy shirt today, tried it on, without the binder, looks AWESOME!! Can't wait to see how it will look in 3-4 months!

Now......gotta find some HOT clothes to wear for Thanksgiving, Christmas and, of course, New Years Eve!

Thanks for posting the pictures, you look great!

Wow!! Thanks for posting the pics! You look amazing and I am sure it will only get better. Thanks again and wishing you a speedy and effortless recovery.

Wow! You look great! Congrats! Please post more pics as you heal up!

absolutely!!
